Multidisciplinary support including geotechnical and environmental assessments for a hydrogen plant production site
In alignment with its company decarbonatization goals, our client in Italy was planning to develop a 4MW hydrogen production plant to test and validate innovative technologies used in the production and storage of green hydrogen. The goal was also to determine the most cost effective of these technologies.
The components being tested by our client include various electrolyzer types, battery configurations, and storage options like metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and liquid hydrogen organic carriers (LOHFs) along with valves, instrumentation, and materials. Our team was engaged to support this initiative, initially by reviewing the production site and providing geotechnical and environmental assessments, factor inputs, and permitting. The client later added the assessment of plant heat balance to our scope. Currently, we are providing scoping and engineering expertise on the electrolyzer integration as well as reviewing and making a recommendation for the hydrogen distribution.
The recommendations presented by our team will provide our client with a deeper understanding of current green hydrogen production costs. They will also earn insight into how these costs can be reduced for future production projects and help them achieve their decarbonization goals. |
